Kansas Has Another Unenforceable Law
A good piece of legislation, it is said, should be clear in its terms, reasonable in its provisions, and simple in its application and enforcement. After deliberating for two months, the Kansas legislature has brought forth a liquor law 3,500 words long. With all these words, the law does not satisfy the above-listed requirements. Translated into understandable language, these three provisions stand out:
1. Drinking is forbidden on public streets, roads, highways, or alleys, in beer parlors, pool halls, taverns, or other places to which the public has access.
3. Only one small sign with letters four inches high, placed in the corner of a package-store window or door, can identify its business.
2. Opened liquor bottles must be carried in the locked rear compartment of an automobile, and nowhere else therein.
WCTU Leader Turns Table On Jokers
Chattanooga, Tenn.—(U.R)—Mrs. S R. Hipp, president of the Chattanooga Women Christian Temperance union, returned home after a weekend out of town, to find a large stack of empty beer bottles blocking the entrance to her door.
Mrs. Hipp took the bottles inside and posted a sign on her door. it read:
"Person or persons desiring to claim their empty bottles left here may do so at their convenience—providing they leave the necessary two cents a bottle deposit."
There have been no takers.
Bracke To Speak At Hays Meeting
William B. Bracke, instructor in English, will be the dinner speaker Friday April 8 at the convention of the Kansas State Association of College Teachers of English at Fort Hays State Teachers college.
Mr. Bracke will speak on "Kansas Folkways and Folklore" based on "Wheat Country," a book being written by the speaker.
"Wheat Country" is the eighteenth book in the American Folkways series. It will soon be published by Duell, Sloan and Pierce.
While it is difficult to justify the "reasonableness" of these provisions, it will be practically impossible to enforce them. It gives us a law which will be harder to enforce than prohibition.
It is obvious some of the lawmakers are aware of the ludicrous provisions of the bill. The legislature's only woman member, Rep. Patricia Kinnimonth of Winfield, while presiding over the house committee of the whole Wednesday, was presented an empty liquor bottle as a joke by a fellow representative. The donor remarked, "We all know our new liquor control law bans drinking liquor in a public place, but as far as I know there's no place where you can't legally smell an empty."
To sum up the liquor situation, it appears Kansas will continue to have a large proportion of its population breaking the law.

The Associated Women Students recently decided to buy a large scrapbook. The ones they found in the proper size cost about $30. But they finally discovered an advertisement of just what they wanted for only $9. They ordered it.

At the next meeting, one member moved that the name of the organization be changed to United States army.
It seems the new scrapbook met all requirements except the printing on the front which said "United States Army."
Now that we know how many cups of coffee (7,000) are drunk daily by University students, someone with talent for digging up such world-shaking information should analyze the beer-drinking habits of the students.

A student asked his friend if he listened to the radio in the mornings. The friend replied, "Yeah, I have to, so I'll know what kind of mood to have when I come to class."
One man on the campus said, "I wish spring would come. If the weather would get nice, perhaps the girls would start wearing shorts and swimming suits and forget about whether skirts are going to remain long or get shorter."
One of the largest humans on record was a North Carolinian, Miles Darden, who weighed more than 1,000 pounds.

Stanford Dean To Speak Friday
Dr. A. I. Levorsen, dean of the school of mineral sciences at Stanford university, will deliver a lecture at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Lindley auditorium. He will speak on "Time of Oil Accumulation."
"The name of Dr. Levorsen would appear on most lists of the five greatest geologists in the nation," Dr. Robert Dreyer, chairman of the geology department, said today.
Dr. Levorsen served as president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 1935 and as president of the Geological Society of America in 1947. He was geologist for several oil companies and then a consulting geologist in Tulsa, Okla., before going to Stanford.
